Something about these old printed materials, typically catalogs and mass printed manuals from the 80s, that's... warm and fuzzy. Literally. These were most likely printed on cheap glossy coated paper using Rotogravure printing (similar to offset or flexographic printing).

May be I should try a proper brand of resin ribbons. Zebra makes official ribbons, Made in USA by Iimak-Amcor in NY. Problem is that I gotta buy a whole case ($500 or more). They're of the last ribbon manufacturers in North America!

Close up, the labeling is wrong, it should say "Kimdura® PolyPro". It's just a standard "Chemical Resistant" polypropelene substate, expensive and not as durable as PVF/PVC.

The PVF TT label has survived (red & yellow), but the Kimdura® PolyPro with resin ink (bottom left in white) is starting to wear out. Non-objective 90 day test on my personal laptop.

Not much to say. This sparking water is addicting. Congratulations to all involved in making this sparking water possible and attainable at a reasonable price.

Quick update. New definition version v1.1.2, users can now build using the old name, "Berkeley Mono" with customizations. Seems like a trivial change, but it took longer than expected to implement. Also added contextual help, which ideally should not be hidden but for now it is better than nothing.
